This collection contains four document cases and two series. The bulk of material consists of the notes and typescripts on the history of Western Maryland College from 1866 to 1972. There is some correspondence, all relating to the history of the college or the typing of the notes on the history. Originally accessioned under "General Records of Western Maryland College; Faculty Articles and Papers 2/02/033," it was removed to special collections. Dates are unlisted in the shelf list record and there are no corresponding accession records. These papers had not been processed. In reviewing the contents of the collection it was discovered the collection contained mostly photocopied duplicates and record from other offices of the college. All photocopies of originals were removed. Photocopies of originals where the original was not in the collection were retained. Also removed from the collection was one file folder containing original material from the Office of Provost's academic files. This folder was removed. One folder with a certificate from his days as a student is listed as a second series. Another folder in the collection containing information on his retirement was kept with the collection and listed as a third series.

In organizing these papers Dr. Schofield's handwritten index was taken into consideration as were notes made by Bernice Beard, secretary to the college president, who oversaw the typing of Schofield's notes and writings.
